International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine
Scope
The International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine belongs to the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Cairo University and is sold by Wolters Kluwer Medknow from Mumbai. The ownership and the publishing address sit on different continents.《International Journal of Veterinary Science and Medicine》归开罗大学兽医学院所有，由孟买的 Wolters Kluwer Medknow 经销。所有权与出版地址分处两个大洲。
Everything in it is open. The journal was born open in 2013, the only licence on offer is plain attribution, and every article carries it.刊里的一切都是开放的。刊物 2013 年一创就是开放获取，唯一的许可是署名许可，每篇文章都带这一种。
The article charge is 250 US dollars, and the directory records no waiver scheme beside it.文章处理费是 250 美元，开放获取目录在旁边记着没有减免方案。
Six subject words are attached to the title in the open access directory, and they read like a clinic list. Epidemiology, disease dynamics, pet medicine, pet care, veterinary endoscopy and sonography.开放获取目录给这本刊挂了六个主题词，读起来像一张门诊清单。流行病学、疾病动力学、宠物医学、宠物护理、兽医内镜与超声。
The published record is wider than that list. A twenty-one author serosurvey of Brucella in livestock and a three-author paper on hyaluronidase pretreatment of canine synovial fluid sit in the same volume.实际发表的记录比那张清单宽。一篇二十一位作者的牲畜布鲁氏菌血清学调查，与一篇三位作者的犬滑液透明质酸酶前处理，登在同一卷里。
Poultry papers run to the feed trough. Broiler diets built on sprouted papaya seed, palm kernel cake with multi-blend enzymes, mangosteen pericarp extract against coccidia and acidified turmeric with black pepper all passed the same referees.家禽稿子一路做到料槽。用发芽木瓜籽配的肉鸡日粮、加复合酶剂的棕榈仁饼、抗球虫的山竹果皮提取物，以及酸化姜黄配黑胡椒，都过了同一批审稿人。
Aquaculture has its own corner. Streptococcus iniae, mass kills in hatchery-reared European seabass and aflatoxin B1 in farmed Nile tilapia are the sort of papers the journal takes.水产有自己的一角。海豚链球菌、育苗场欧洲舌齿鲈的批量死亡、养殖尼罗罗非鱼饲料里的黄曲霉毒素 B1，都是这类刊物会收的稿子。
Wildlife and zoo animals appear often enough to count as a section in their own right. Tularaemia in a white-handed gibbon, avian malaria in captive African penguins and renal oxalate deposits in an African fruit bat have all been reported here.野生动物与动物园动物出现得够多，单算一个栏目也不为过。白掌长臂猿的兔热病、圈养非洲企鹅的禽疟疾、非洲果蝠的肾草酸盐沉积，都在这里报过。
One Health is treated as a method rather than a slogan. A paper comparing Johne's disease in ruminants with Crohn's disease in people, and a survey of rabies vaccination rates and dog bites in Bauchi State, both start from the animal side and end in human medicine.同一健康在这里是方法，不是口号。一篇把反刍动物约内病与人的克罗恩病并置的论文，一份包奇州狂犬病免疫率与犬咬伤的调查，都从动物一侧起头，落在人的医学上。
Antimicrobial resistance is the most frequent single theme. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus in retail meat, resistance patterns in mastitis isolates and non-viable chicken embryos as a reservoir of multidrug-resistant bacteria have each had a paper.抗菌药物耐药是出现最频的单一主题。零售肉里的耐甲氧西林金黄色葡萄球菌、乳房炎分离株的耐药谱、把无活力鸡胚当作多重耐药菌储库，各占一篇。
Imaging and instrumentation are covered as clinical technique, not as engineering. Two-dimensional shear wave elastography of the canine liver, left atrial strain by speckle tracking and magnetic resonance views of the cisterna magna all come with the caveats a clinician would ask for.影像与器械按临床技术收，不按工程收。犬肝的二维剪切波弹性成像、斑点追踪测左房应变、枕大池的磁共振观察，都附了临床医生会追问的那些前提。
Case reports are accepted, and the malformations are the point. Monocephalus dipygus in a four-month-old puppy and aprosopia with holoprosencephaly in a stillborn puppy were each given full descriptions.病例报告是收的，畸形本身就是要点。四月龄幼犬的双臀单头畸胎，死胎幼犬的无面畸形伴前脑无裂，各给了完整描述。
Regenerative medicine and nanotechnology arrived early and stayed. Induced pluripotent stem cells from Asian bats, freeze-dried horse platelet lysate, ovine mesenchymal stem cell donor variability, chitosan and green silver nanoparticles, hydroxyapatite nanorods from Moringa oleifera seed.再生医学与纳米技术来得早，也留住了。亚洲蝙蝠的诱导多能干细胞、冻干马血小板裂解液、绵羊间充质干细胞的供体差异、壳聚糖与绿色合成银纳米粒、辣木籽的羟基磷灰石纳米棒。
Species coverage is the widest thing about the journal. Cattle, goats, pigs, dogs, cats, horses, quail, seabass, tilapia, penguins, macaques, bats and a desert tortoise have all appeared in the last five volumes.物种覆盖面是这本刊最宽的地方。牛、山羊、猪、犬、猫、马、鹌鹑、海鲈、罗非鱼、企鹅、猕猴、蝙蝠，还有一只沙漠陆龟，近五卷里都出现过。
History
Volume 1, issue 1 is dated June 2013. The National Library of Medicine record opens there, with the Cairo faculty as the imprint.第 1 卷第 1 期标的是 2013 年 6 月。美国国家医学图书馆的记录从这里起头，出版者是开罗的那个学院。
The first two years ran on page numbers and print habits. Volume 1 carries two issue numbers in the Crossref record, and the 2013 papers are paginated from page 1 to page 112.最初两年还是页码与纸本的习惯。第 1 卷在 Crossref 记录里带着两个期号，2013 年的文章从第 1 页排到第 112 页。
Elsevier produced and hosted the journal at the start. The National Library of Medicine still carries that line as a continuation note, and the 2013 to 2018 digital object identifiers run under the 10.1016 prefix.刊物起初由 Elsevier 承制并托管。美国国家医学图书馆至今把这句话留在沿革注里，2013 到 2018 年的数字对象标识符都挂在 10.1016 前缀下。
Two issues a year was the rule for the first six volumes. Volume 6 closed in 2018 with issue 2.前六卷是每年两期。第 6 卷在 2018 年以第 2 期收尾。
The transfer to Taylor and Francis shows up in the identifiers. From volume 7 in 2019 the prefixes change to 10.1080, filed under the 23144599 stem.转给 Taylor and Francis 这件事在标识符上看得见。从 2019 年的第 7 卷起，前缀换成 10.1080，归在 23144599 这一串刊号下面。
The annual volume began at the same moment. From 2019 each volume carries one issue number, and articles are published as they clear production and gathered into the volume at the end of the year.年度卷从同一时刻开始。2019 年起每卷只带一个期号，文章过了生产流程就发，年底再归拢成一卷。
Volume 7 through volume 14 hold one issue apiece. That is eight volumes and eight issue numbers, with the counting carried straight through the change of publisher.第 7 卷到第 14 卷，每卷一个期号。八卷八个期号，编号一路穿过了换出版社的那道坎。
Wolters Kluwer Medknow took over most recently. The 10.4103 prefix first appears in 2025, volume 14 belongs to the new publisher, and the National Library of Medicine lists Mumbai from 2026 onward.最近接手的是 Wolters Kluwer Medknow。10.4103 前缀在 2025 年首次出现，第 14 卷归新出版方，美国国家医学图书馆从 2026 年起把出版地记为孟买。
The impact factor file has not caught up with that move. It still names Taylor and Francis as the publisher, which is what happens when a ranking is compiled from the year before a transfer.影响因子那份表还没跟上这一步。它仍然把 Taylor and Francis 写成出版方，排名按转手前一年编，结果就是这样。
Indexing arrived in stages. PubMed coverage begins with volume 4, issue 1 in 2016, the full text is deposited in PubMed Central, and the citation index entry is the emerging sources edition rather than the expanded one.收录是分段到的。PubMed 的覆盖从 2016 年第 4 卷第 1 期起，全文存进 PubMed Central，引文索引那一栏是新兴资源版，不是扩展版。
The first quartile placement is recent. In the 2025 file the journal sits at 45 of 170 in veterinary sciences, second quartile, with a journal impact factor of 2.3.靠前的分区是近年的事。2025 年那份表里，刊物在兽医学 170 种中排第 45，属第二区，影响因子 2.3。
Only three years of impact factor exist to plot. The 2023 figure was 2.8, 2024 was 3.2 and 2025 came back to 2.3, which is the shape of a title that has just entered the rankings.可供画曲线的影响因子只有三年。2023 年是 2.8，2024 年 3.2，2025 年回到 2.3，这是刚进排名体系的刊物常有的形状。
Citation volume is modest and the citing half-life is long. The file counts 607 citations to 10 articles in the window, with a cited half-life of 7.3 years.被引体量不大，被引半衰期却长。表里在统计窗口内数到 607 次引用对 10 篇文章，被引半衰期 7.3 年。
Every article is gold open access, and the directory puts the median time from submission to publication at 24 weeks. Full texts are kept by CLOCKSS, LOCKSS, PubMed Central and Portico.文章全部是金色开放获取，目录记的投稿到出版中位时间是 24 周。全文由 CLOCKSS、LOCKSS、PubMed Central 与 Portico 四家保存。
Editors
No editor-in-chief is named in any record that can be reached from here, and none is invented. What the records do show is where the editorial authority sits.从这里够得到的记录里没有写主编是谁，这里也不替他填。记录能显示的是编辑权落在哪儿。
The faculty owns the title. Its address in Giza is the first imprint, and ownership has not moved even though three publishers have handled production.刊物归那个学院所有。吉萨的地址是最初的出版者地址，三家出版社先后承制，所有权没有挪过。
Review is double anonymous. The open access directory records that arrangement, with its last full review dated September 2026.评审是双匿名。开放获取目录记着这一条，最近一次全面复核标在 2026 年 9 月。
Double anonymity asks more of an editor. A referee cannot weigh the author's institution, so the editor has to choose readers from the subject alone.双匿名对编辑的要求更高。审稿人看不到作者单位，编辑只能凭题目内容挑读者。
The board has to cover two kinds of manuscript at once. A twenty-one author serosurvey needs an epidemiologist, and a paper on synovial fluid pretreatment needs someone who runs a clinical pathology bench.编委会得同时管住两类稿子。二十一位作者的血清学调查要流行病学家，滑液前处理的论文要一个守着临床病理台子的人。
Species breadth is an editorial constraint, not a boast. A paper on penguins and a paper on broiler feed do not share a referee pool, and the masthead has to supply both.物种跨度是编辑上的约束，不是自夸的资本。企鹅的论文与肉鸡饲料的论文不共用一个审稿人池，编委会得两头都供得上。
Case reports need a judgement the impact factor cannot make. A four-month-old puppy with two pelves is worth printing once, and the editor decides whether this is the once.病例报告要一个影响因子做不了的判断。四月龄幼犬长着两副骨盆，值得印一次，是不是就这一次，由编辑定。
Antimicrobial resistance papers carry a public health weight beyond their citation count. The editor who sends a resistance survey out is choosing readers who will read it as a warning, not as a local curiosity.耐药论文的分量超出引用数。把一份耐药调查送出去的编辑，挑的是会把它当警示读、而不是当地方趣闻读的审稿人。
Production has changed hands three times and the editorial line has not. Elsevier hosted it, Taylor and Francis sold it, Medknow sells it now, and the same faculty signs the acceptance letters.承制方换过三回，编辑方向没换。Elsevier 托管过，Taylor and Francis 销售过，如今由 Medknow 销售，录用信还是同一个学院签。
Nobody on the masthead is paid by the journal. The editors hold faculty posts in Cairo, and the review work rides on top of teaching loads.编委会上没有人从刊物领薪。编辑在开罗各持教职，审稿的活儿压在教学任务上头。
The queue is the part authors feel. Median time to publication is 24 weeks, and most of that is not typesetting but the wait for two readers who will not sign off until the numbers are defended.作者能感觉到的是那条队列。投稿到出版中位 24 周，其中大半不是排版，是等两位不肯在数字站不住脚时签字的读者。
